Star Card System

After winning consecutive games in the British Championship, Leicester City now has no opponents in the league.

Even several direct competitors said in interviews with the media that their current goal is to be second in the league.

The top spot is set, no doubt about it.

For Leicester City, the league championship is guaranteed, and next, they have to consider the FA Cup.

A few days ago, Leicester City’s fourth-round opponent in the FA Cup was announced.

Chelsea!

Now we have just reached the fourth round of the FA Cup and have encountered a super strong enemy.

There is no one left.

I thought that with the league title firmly in hand, I could strive to go further in the FA Cup.

Now it seems that it is dangerous again.

In discussions within the coaching staff, most coaches were unanimously negative.

You must know that Chelsea's condition this season is very good.

Mourinho returned to Chelsea last summer and launched drastic reforms to the team.

The team changed from its previous half-dead state and quickly improved its spirit.

They are currently ranked third in the league, only 4 points behind first place Manchester City and two points behind second place Liverpool.

In this case, they still have a high possibility of competing for the championship this season.

For Mourinho, the Premier League championship is only one aspect.

He is looking forward to competing for the championship on the fourth line!

They appeared in the Champions League group stage with five wins and one draw. Their opponent in the eighth round was Galatasaray, which was not a big problem.

The League Cup has also entered the semi-finals and has a great chance of winning.

They have no intention of giving up this FA Cup.

Now Chelsea has a strong team, with top stars in every position, and even the substitutes are top-notch.

In this case, Mourinho has plenty of space to arrange his troops.

On the evening of January 27, Stamford Bridge ushered in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Chelsea's big-name players arrived early and started warming up.

Leicester City players arrived later.

This is Pearson's arrangement.

Facing this level of opponents, this level of stadium, and this level of fans, arriving early is not a good thing.

If the players are suppressed by the opponent's momentum early, it will be difficult to play in the next game.

Entering the Stamford Bridge stadium, many players were curious and looked around.

Even though some people have played professional football for more than ten years, they have never been here, let alone played here.

Even before entering the stadium, Stamford Bridge is spectacular enough from the outside.

Tens of thousands of fans have gathered in the square, which is very lively.

Even before the game started, the atmosphere was already full.

Sitting in the bus and looking at this huge stadium, the players chatted and expressed their emotions.

Drinkwater's eyes flashed: "Besides Manchester United, my favorite club is Chelsea. It's wonderful to be able to play in this stadium."

James smiled and said: "Listening to what you said, you are interested in transferring to Chelsea."

"Tch!" Drinkwater glanced at him, "Sooner or later I will have them begging me to join."

"Hahahaha!" The teammates laughed.

Xia Xing also looked at the stadium curiously.

Mahrez, who was sitting with him, asked: "Have you never been here to play football?"

"No, today is the first time."

"That's just right."

"What's just right?"

"It's my first time coming to Stamford Bridge, so it would be nice to commemorate it with a victory."

"Ha ha!"

Xia Xing smiled.

Although he didn't get along with Mahrez for a long time, Xia Xing liked this guy very much.

Although he usually doesn't like to get along with others and is a bit aloof, he is a very nice person.

Especially in terms of football skills, the two often discuss together.

Speaking of which, in the current Leicester City formation, there are not many people who can discuss football skills with Xia Xing.

Maybe not.

Xia Xing likes Mahrez's strong self-confidence and his spirit of not being afraid of anyone he meets.

Football is round, everything is possible!

The bus entered the stadium and the players got off and walked into the tunnel.

After cleaning up, walk out of the tunnel and onto the court.

Xia Xing was delayed for two minutes because of something, and he was the last to walk out of the tunnel.

As soon as he came to the side of the court, he heard someone calling him.

"Boy from China, go up and play for a while!"

Hearing this, Xia Xing suddenly felt that time was reversing.

It seems that I have returned to that familiar summer.

Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man looking at him with a smile.

"Coach Mourinho!"

Xia Xing walked over quickly and greeted him respectfully.

"Hello, coach Mourinho, we meet again."

"Yes, we meet again."

This is the second meeting between the two.

On the afternoon of June 1, 2013, at Sir Alex Ferguson's farewell exhibition match, the two met for the first time.

Mourinho temporarily served as the coach of World Stars United. Due to the shortage of players, Ferguson loaned him several Manchester United youth players.

Xia Xing is one of them.

In that game, Xia Xing performed very well, with wonderful goals and beautiful assists, making himself the center of attention.

After the game, he also received an official player contract from Manchester United.

The scene at that time is vivid in Xia Xing's mind.

Standing in front of Xia Xing, Mourinho patted his shoulder affectionately, looked up and down for a long time, and then nodded.

"Chinese boy, I'm not surprised that you can stand in front of me today.

"During that game, I knew you would achieve something.

"But I didn't expect that we would meet so soon.

"I follow the games of the English Championship, especially Leicester City.

"You have now become the absolute offensive core of Leicester City.

"Your technical level is far beyond the level of the English Championship.

"You will definitely appear in the Premier League next season.

"Young man, I am happy for you to see your current achievements.

"Perform well in this game, let me see how much you have improved up close!"

Turning around and running to the stadium, Xia Xing recalled last summer.

At that time, he played with countless stars, and the happiness of that moment is still fresh in his memory.

And now, he finally stands here with his own efforts.

Play against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium and challenge Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Play against countless world-class stars.

When I think of this, I feel very comfortable!

Regardless of the outcome, this match alone is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy!

At this moment, Xia Xing suddenly heard a familiar voice!

[You have a new task, please check! ]

[Task: 1. Start the game; 2. Score a goal; 3. Defeat Chelsea. ]

[Task time: In the game of this season, complete the three conditions in the task at the same time. ]

[Task reward: Gianfranco Zola card, S level. ]

I didn’t expect that this game would activate a new task!
